To all whom it may conpcrn:

Be it known that I, J osnUA I-IExRY-LAM- PREY, a subject of theQucen of Great Britain,

residing at'lJrockley, London, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electricity, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of the improvement hereinafter described in a type of ozonizers or tricity of which I am the inventor-and in which the ozone is produced by the passage of alternating currents of electricity between conductors arranged in pairs and separated by glass or other dielectric material, (which I will each p'air (which I will designate the discharge-conductor) being form-ed of a wire having strung on it beads or disks of metal and beads of glass or other material, disposed alternately, and the other conductor of each pair.

(which Iwill designate the plain conductor) consisting' of astrip or rod of metal. In such discharge-conductors as formerly made by me the metal beads or disks (which I will designate the discharge members) were of larger diameter than the beads of glass or other mate: rial,(which1willterm the intervening members,) the object being to insure contact between the discharge members and the separators. Now I-have since discovered that the production of ozone may be considerably increased bysupportin g the discharge members separators, and my aforesaid improvement consists in simple and efncient means for thus supporting the discharge members the saidr neans consistingin the use in the'construction of the discharge-cnductors of intervening members of greater diameter than the diss al No. 789,546.

two being governed by the distance at which the discharge members are required to be kept from the separators.

My said improvement-is accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is an elevation; and Fig. 2 is a section on a somewhat-larger scale, showing a portion of one form of an ozonizerof the constructionv hereinbeforo referred to having my present improvement applied thereto.

I r I My present invention is an improvement upon that/shown in the British Letters Patent granted me June 19, R394, No. 11,810.

' That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

An apparatus for the production of ozone by electricity, consisting of a plain conductor, a discharge-conductor, a series of discharge members strung thereon, a series of intervenin g dielectric members of greater diameter than the discharge members also strung on said conductor alternately with the discharge 'membors, and a dielectricinterveni'ng bercsting on. its surface, substantially as described.
